Abstract

This article presents the results of the implementation of a research project based on the proposal to create a mathematical game that covers basic operations for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the use of technological tools. The initial phase of the study was based on theoretical references and interviews with specialized people, who act in an inclusion perspective. Tests were performed with existing software aimed at identifying its positive and negative aspects for mathematical learning and thus guiding the development of the proposed game. In a perspective of inclusion, all students can be educated, where are provided educational opportunities and methods to teach them.
